Miro's Comments: I'm so ruined by processed food, I can't tell if it tastes overly chemical or overly real, but either way it is over powering and has a spice kick that leaves my mouth tingling. 
Elizabeth's Comments: What is that chemical-tasting spice getting stuck in the back of my throat?

Miro's Comments: They claim homemade crust.  The texture is nice but the flavor is a bit underdeveloped.  It could have used another minute in the oven.  I wonder if he pulled it out because I was standing there?
Elizabeth's Comments: It's crumbling in my hand like a cracker and tastes like a saltine.  It may be homemade..but it has no flavor and it struggles to hold up the grease.

Elizabeth's Comments: Bland crust, greasy cheese, and unnatural spices…not a good combo

Miro's Comments: Good looking cheese balance, but has that overly round thing without enough crust. Added .25 for the bits of either oregano or psuedo-orgegano visible in the cheese
Elizabeth's Comments: Lot's of crisp bubbly cheese, but the burnt edges make me worry about what's underneath
